In-House Pharmacy
Grand Rapids Veterinary Clinic strives to be a one-stop shop for your pet's healthcare needs. We offer an array of both prescription and over-the-counter products to keep your pet happy and healthy. Our in-house pharmacy is stocked with prescription medications to provide preventive care, treat illnesses and ensure that your pet's medication is always available. Should your pet require prescription medicine, we can usually provide it immediately, helping him/her recover more quickly and saving you a trip elsewhere.
When considering options for purchasing medication, pet owners have many choices, including online pharmacies, local pharmacies and mail-order catalogs. But where can you truly get the best value for your money? Who can offer you the most reliable and personalized service? Who has the most complete medical information on your pets, and the ability to anticipate drug interactions or other problems that can result from inappropriately administering medication? Before you purchase your next prescription or medication refill, ask us about our pharmacy.
We maintain an inventory of veterinary pharmaceutical products and medications, including flea, tick and heartworm preventive products. You can rely on us whether your pet requires medication for a chronic medical condition or needs short-term medication while recovering from an illness, injury or surgery. When you purchase medications from our pharmacy, rest assured that your pet's medications were obtained from safe, reliable sources and stored under optimal conditions. Our trained staff will fill your prescriptions with care, as well as attention to detail and your pet's specific needs. You can count on us to provide you with accurate information about your pet's medications, including proper dosing information, and to alert you to any potential drug side effects or interactions. We are also here if you experience any problems with your medication after you return home. Help is only a phone call away!
